<p>It wouldn’t be another weekend without some great <a href="https://www.espn.com/mma/ufc/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">UFC</a> action, and this time that action is going to be coming from Atlantic City, New Jersey. This city has been home to some massive fights in the past, and that trend should continue with a loaded fight card this weekend. </p>



<p>There won’t be a belt handed out this weekend, but several of the fights are going to feature some top contenders in their respective weight class. That is going to lead to some incredible drama, and there will also be some great betting options available.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Here is a look at some of the top fights of the weekend, and the bets that should be made as well.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-blanchfield-fiorot">Blanchfield-Fiorot</h2>



<p>The main event on Saturday night will feature Erin Blanchfield taking on Manon Fiorot in a huge clash between flyweight contenders. The winner of this bout will likely get a shot at a championship fight, although there are other aspects that could impact that.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Blanchfield is the betting favorite in this fight at -180, and she will also have the support of a home crowd. She has made it known that she is from New Jersey, and she could lock up a title fight by winning in front of family and friends.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Fiorot has yet to lose in the Octagon, and her most recent win put her on the path to getting a shot at the title. She’s still a bit unproven at just 6-0 in her career, but she has shown that she has some great skills.&nbsp;</p>



<p>This is going to be a battle that goes the distance, but betting on Blanchfield at -180 is the best betting option here.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-welterweights-ready-to-battle">Welterweights Ready to Battle</h2>



<p>The co-main event on Saturday night will feature two welterweight fighters that don’t like to sit back and let the action come to them. Joaquin Buckley and Vicente Luque are both extremely aggressive fighters, and the odds suggest that they are almost equals as well.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Buckley is a slight underdog in this fight, event though his betting odds for this are set at -102. Luque won’t really have the pressure of being favored in this one as there’s not much of a difference in his odds at -118.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Both fighters are trying to stay on the path to fighting for a championship, and each fighter will be aggressive in this one. Luque has had a ton of time off though, and so going with Buckley at -102 is going to be the best option to explore.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-weidman-silva-ready-for-battle">Weidman/Silva Ready for Battle</h2>



<p>A couple of fan favorites are going to meet up on the main card on Saturday night as Chris Weidman will be taking on Bruno Silva. Weidman will be in his second fight since a devastating leg injury more than a year ago, and he just hasn’t regained his top form.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Silva is another fighter that is looking to bounce back in a big way as he has lost five straight matchups. He is still someone that is well-known in the sport, and the odds at -260 suggest that he is going to end his losing streak in this one.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Weidman will figure things out again at some point, but going with Silva is the right course of action in this fight.&nbsp;</p>

After we had just five MLB games to choose from on Monday because of a postponement in Denver, we are back to a full card on Tuesday. That means a lot of different options on the betting board for baseball enthusiasts.

How about we head to Chase Field, where the Miami Marlins and the Arizona Diamondbacks will square off in the second game of a four-game series in the desert. Pablo Lopez starts for the Marlins and Madison Bumgarner starts for the Diamondbacks with -115 both ways at <strong><a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bookmaker/">Bookmaker Sportsbook</a></strong>. The total on the game was 8 on the overnights, but was been bet down to 7.5. It has bounced back and forth a bit since.

Let’s take a look at this one from both sides and try to find a play on the game.
<h2><strong><u>Miami Marlins</u></strong></h2>
The Marlins are finding ways to make it work. Miami entered play on Monday as the only team in the NL East with a positive run differential. They really only have three starting pitchers at this point in time. Sixto Sanchez was expected to be one of them, but he’s been injured. Paul Campbell was suspended 80 games for a banned substance. Elieser Hernandez is out with bicep tendonitis.

So, the pitching cupboard is pretty bare for the Marlins, who used Jordan Holloway and Luis Madero in something of a piggyback on Monday. Fortunately, those three remaining starters are Pablo Lopez, Sandy Alcantara, and Trevor Rogers. Lopez is the one that gets the call on Monday.

The right-hander has been brilliant this season with a 2.04 ERA and a 3.13 FIP in his 39.2 innings of work. He’s struck out over a batter per inning and has maintained his excellent control and the improved command that we saw from him in 2020. Lopez allowed only four homers in 57.1 innings last season. He’s allowed three in 39.2 this season, but he’s got a .272 BABIP against and the low walk rate, so home runs aren’t going to be nearly as hurtful for him as they might be for somebody else.

Lopez just threw five innings against the Diamondbacks on May 6 with no earned runs on three hits. He struck out six and walked a couple. This will be his fourth road start of the season. Marlins Park is very forgiving, even with the use of a humidor beginning with this start. Lopez’s worst start was a six-run effort on the road at Atlanta, so we’ll see if he can have the same success at Chase Field that he’s had in five of his other six starts.

The Miami offense is below average as a whole. The Fish entered play on Monday 24th in wOBA at .295. However, the Marlins entered Monday’s game 14th in batting average and 17th in wOBA against lefties. They were just above the league average in wRC+ at 102. This has been easily the better split for them and Bumgarner is a lefty.
<h2><strong><u>Arizona Diamondbacks</u></strong></h2>
Madison Bumgarner allowed 17 runs on 22 hits in his first three starts of the season. Things were dire to say the least. He had struck out 15 in his 13.2 innings of work, but had also walked eight. Then, something changed. Bumgarner’s last four starts have been masterful, as he’s allowed just three runs on eight hits in 23 innings of work. That run also includes a seven-inning no-hitter. He’s struck out 25 and walked just two.

Is this the new and improved Bumgarner that we can expect to see going forward? The one that allowed one run on two hits with seven strikeouts over six innings when he matched up with Lopez last week? It sure seems like he’s figured some things out, as the velocity has gone up and the bite on his slider has returned.

Arizona has pummeled lefties this season. The Diamondbacks went into Monday’s action leading in the league in wOBA against LHP. Just one problem, though. Pablo Lopez is a righty. Arizona has not fared nearly as well in that split, as the Diamondbacks rank 17th in wOBA at .301 and 23rd in wRC+. For all of the success that they’ve had against southpaws, they’ve balanced it out by being a below average offense against righties.

Another potential deciding factor in this game could be the bullpens. Arizona’s bullpen ranks 27th by FIP and 26th in ERA. Miami’s, meanwhile, ranks seventh in ERA and just inside the top 10 in FIP.
<h2><strong><u>Marlins vs. Diamondbacks Free Pick</u></strong></h2>
The Marlins appear set up nicely in this game to bet at your favorite <strong><a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/us/">Online sportsbook</a></strong>. They have the luxury of facing a pitcher with their better offensive split and also have the better bullpen in the event that this is a close game. It looks like it could be, but Lopez has more upside than Bumgarner, even with the recent returns from the veteran southpaw, and the Marlins are trending in the right direction, while the Diamondbacks are not.

Philadelphia Phillies vs San Diego Padres Betting Pick & Prediction 9/4/23

<p>Another Apple Cup is upon us, as the Cougars and Huskies lock horns Friday, November 26, at Huskie Stadium in Seattle, so we have prepared the best Washington State vs. Washington betting pick along with the latest odds for this Pac-12 Conference showdown.</p>



<p>The Cougars head to Huskie Stadium as small 1-point favorites on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bookmaker/">Bookmaker Sportsbook</a>, while the totals are listed at 44.0 points. Washington State is winless in seven consecutive meetings with the Huskies, and five of those seven contests have gone in the under.</p>



<h2>The Cougars are fighting for the Pac-12 championship game</h2>



<p>The Washington State Cougars improved to 6-5 SU and 7-4 ATS on the season with a convincing 44-18 home victory to the Arizona Wildcats this past Friday. They became bowl eligible, but the Cougars still have a chance to sneak into the Pac-12 Conference championship game if they beat the Huskies in their regular-season finale and Oregon loses to Oregon State.</p>



<p>Washington State dominated Arizona from start to finish, building a 30-point lead midway through the third quarter. Sophomore QB Jayden de Laura led the way for the Cougars with 259 yards and four touchdowns. Senior wideout Calvin Jackson Jr. had four catches for 133 yards and a couple of touchdowns, while senior RB Max Borghi added 16 carries for 139 yards and two scores.</p>



<p>The Cougars lean on their passing offense, though Max Borghi is capable of making a lot of damage on the ground. Borghi has 138 carries for 751 yards and ten touchdowns on his season tally, while de Laura has thrown for 2,506 yards, 23 touchdowns, and nine interceptions thus far.</p>



<h2>The Huskies can look to the future     </h2>



<p>The Washington Huskies fell to 4-7 SU and 3-8 ATS on the season following a 20-17 defeat at the Colorado Buffaloes this past Saturday. It was another lousy display by the Huskies, who were listed as 6.5-point road favorites.</p>



<p>Washington racked up 426 total yards and yielded only 183 to the Buffaloes, but the Huskies committed four turnovers. Freshman signal-caller Dylan Morris went 33-of-52 for 387 yards and a couple of touchdowns and interceptions, while the Huskies ran 28 times for a paltry 38 yards.</p>



<p>Morris has tossed for 2,458 yards, 14 touchdowns, and 12 picks so far this season. The Huskies are scoring 22.3 points per game (106<sup>th</sup> in the nation) while surrendering 21.1 in a return (tied-28<sup>th</sup>) on 192.3 rushing yards (108<sup>th</sup>) and 134.1 passing yards (1<sup>st</sup>).</p>



<p><strong>Trends:</strong></p>



<p><strong>Washington State:</strong></p>



<ul><li>7-1 ATS in the last eight games overall</li><li>6-1 ATS in the last seven games against the Pac-12 Conference&nbsp;&nbsp;</li></ul>



<p><strong>Washington:</strong></p>



<ul><li>3-10 ATS in the last 13 games overall</li><li>2-6 ATS in the last eight games at home</li><li>1-5 ATS in the last six games against the Pac-12 North Division&nbsp;</li></ul>



<h2 id="h-washington-state-vs-washington-pick">Washington State vs. Washington Pick</h2>



<p>The Cougars look like a better team than the Huskies, so I’m going with the visitors in this Apple Cup. Washington State has a lot on the table, while Washington has nothing to play for besides its pride.</p>



<p>The visitors must be fired up to grab a win and put an end to their terrible seven-game losing streak against the Huskies. Also, they could earn a place in the Pac-12 championship game, so the Cougars should get the job done. Their ground game is good enough to deal with the Huskies, whose secondary has been terrific thus far. On the other side of the ball, the one-dimensional Huskies’ offense will have a tall task to outscore its opponents.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Take Washington State -1.0 at -110&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p><strong>The Total:</strong></p>



<p>The over is 4-1 in the Cougars’ last five games overall, while the under is 9-2 in the Huskies’ previous 11 outings at any location. Three of their previous four encounters have gone in the under, but three of those four tilts have produced at least 44 points in total.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The Cougars lead the Pac-12 in takeaways, and over the last six games, they’ve committed only five turnovers (three of them came against Oregon). Washington State’s offense has improved a lot in the second half of the season, so I’m going with the over.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Go over 44.0 points at -110</strong></p>

Washington State vs. Washington Odds, Pick, Prediction 11/26/21

Of course I'm not talking about losing a bet intentionally, but let's face it, they happen. Whether it was a terrible handicapping job or a close one that could have gone either way, we're going to lose. In fact, we know <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sports-betting-odds-how-to-win-and-beat-the-vig/"><strong>the magic number to win against the -110 is 52.38%</strong></a>. That's just it. That means we're going to lose a lot of games.

For me, the first thing I do after (and sometimes during) a loss, is look back and see what I missed. What I missed might be quite obvious, or it might not even be on paper. It could be a situation that was missed. Regardless, there had to be something. We have to find "that something" before we go forward so we don't make the mistake again. Honestly, I've learned much more from embarrassing losses than great wins.

Everyone has great wins, but that doesn't mean "we got this". Everyone has bad losses. And by that I don't mean "bad beats" where we could/should have won. There is no such thing as a "right side" losing ticket. It cashes or it doesn't. But, it's always what we do next that matters the most. Don't lament the past, use it to your advantage.

You win more money by eliminating mistakes than you do by making really good calls, trust me. All you want to do is put yourself in the best possible position to win, day after day. So on Sunday I learned something. We won three and lost one MLB game, and I am far more focused on the Rockies losing in 13 innings than I am on the three easy ones.

Looking back, they had their chances as most teams do. They had the bases loaded with no outs and didn't score. They had a leadoff hit in extra innings and didn't even attempt to bunt. So, although they had more chances that Arizona, they just didn't execute. That's what we learned, so what we do is move them down the list of teams we trust. It doesn't mean we don't bet on them, we've just got to look harder at their games and see if they can get away with sloppy execution. My quick conclusion is that yes, they can get away with no being their best, but not on the road. At least not for now.

I found that to be the case with the Rays not long ago. It has already made me money by not costing me money. I did not bet on them today in Toronto, as bad as Toronto has been, even with Archer pitching. Honestly, I leaned to the under which cashed, but I didn't bet it. That's OK. That just means we have a good feel for them now, too.

After a loss, it can make a person too emotional. After a win, it can make a person emotional. Take it out of the equation. You've simply got to treat it as you would your job or your business and get better every day.

So, when you lose there's often no need to reinvent the wheel, and when you win it doesn't mean you're good to go and should be moving to Nevada. The truth is almost always somewhere between the two. Stay focused and learn from the losses and you'll win more, or lose less. If you follow someone, ask what they missed - it's the only way to get better, whether you're doing your own work or paying someone else too.
